It seems to.

Mine too.

I can't find a directory in which this doesn't say "No newer files".

More disturbingly, if I go into the source/lib directory and run, e.g.,
"rdoc cgi.rb", I can't figure out where the created file is GOING.  Not,
in any event, into the system ri directory, or anywhere that 'ri CGI'
can find it.

Ahh!  Going into the build directory and running 'make install-doc'
has fixed it.  I'll send a bug report to the NetBSD package maintainer
that this ought to be at least an option for the package, and probably
the default.
